Countywide Multi-Hazard Environmental Monitoring and Decision‑Support System

Frederick County Maryland Department of Emergency Preparedness is soliciting proposals for a Countywide Multi-Hazard Environmental Monitoring and Decision-Support System under RFP 27-150. The objective is to acquire a configurable, scalable, and secure web-based platform that integrates real-time data from professional-grade, solar-powered weather stations, precipitation sensors, air-quality monitors, and cameras. The system must feature interactive mapping, dashboards, and mobile access, providing five software user licenses. The contract term is approximately four months with four optional one-year renewal periods. All equipment must be designed for continuous year-round operation and protected against environmental extremes and vandalism. The procurement follows a best-value process conducted in five phases: technical evaluation, price proposal, presentation/interview, negotiations, and reference checks. Technical submissions must include a detailed work schedule, warranty information, and evidence of contractor qualifications. Because the project is funded by Federal Grant EMP-2025-EP-05008/97.042, contractors must comply with strict federal requirements, including the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment for awards over 100,000 dollars, SAM.gov debarment verification, and non-discrimination mandates under Title VI and the ADA. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by November 4, 2026, and must include a signed affidavit regarding price fixing and bribery.
